(UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Dec. 12, 2019) – The holiday season will be a little merrier this year for more than 100 Long Island children thanks to the generosity of hundreds of PSEG Long Island employees. More than 300 employees joined together and took on the role of “Santa” to buy hundreds of gifts for children enrolled in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program.
In all, 125 local children will be waking up Christmas morning to the bikes, tablets, video games, coats, toys, games, dolls, action figures, clothes and sneakers they wished for this year.
